Trivia:

Overboard (1987) was released in 1987. In The Best of Times (1986) starring Kurt Russell, released just the year before, there are references to "Gigi", who is Kurt Russell's character's wife and also one of the opposing football players was known as "Dr. Death". In Overboard the letters "G.G." are spray painted on the boys' club house and they also refer to "Dr. Death" coming to rescue their "mother". Both movies start Kurt Russell.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: When Annie and Dean are being helped into the Zodiac, the camera bounces due to a wave, and a causeway is visible in the background.

Quotes:

Joanna Stayton/Annie Proffitt: I just... ate a bug!

funnier than most

I like this film, and it has many memorable moments. The hose scene, and Russel's antics. This is a great movie, Russel does comedy perfectly. He can play the all American, guy next store better than anyone else. This movie is a tribute to his acting ability. I can watch this one over and over. 8/10
